Virgo (♍) is the sixth astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Virgo. It comes after Leo and before Libra. The sun transits this areaon average between August 23 and September 22.
Virgo is an earth sign along with Taurus and capricorn. The symbol of the virgin maiden is based on Astraea the celestial virgin, she was the last of immortals to live with humans during the Golden Age but she abandoned the earth because she could not stand the wickedness of humanity. Virgos are very loyal, trustworthy, honest, and dependable. They will keep the secrets that others tell them locked down tight and will never tell anyone else unless are they are given permission and allowed to. However, if they find you to be manipulative, rude, or somehow hostile towards others, then they will spill your secrets to others as a form of payback.
